OK, thanks. Will try it when I get home.

So I checked AP/FBW. Actually it is launched automatically with the others (when I launch starterfsx).

AP/FBW window shows it is connected to FMGS server. In the drop down, it has PA320.

As I mentioned earlier, all the other controllers (yoke and flaps lever) work. It's only the throttle lever.

Then you probably did something wrong in the calibration. Without more info/pictures it's hard to tell...

Look, will try to post some additional info.

Make sure your joystick is not configured under FSUIPC or there might be a conflict.

Otherwise, I do not know why it does not work for you. Did you follow the user guide pdf?

I have not used FSUIPC at all (neither downloaded it).

Here is exactly how I calibrate the throttle lever:

- I launch FMGS_Config
- Two windows open. The smaller reads "Complex THR LVR Joystics". This window did not show up when I first installed JH. I ignore this window.
- the other bigger window "Configure Controls" is the one shown in the User Guide. It's the one I use to calibrate the lever.
- I click in the area next to "THR LVR 1" and then physically move the throttle lever. The following appears "Saitek PLC Z-Axis"
- from the drop down menu, I select "Both"
- I click on "TOGA", then slide the lever up until the readings in both boxes shows "0". This corresponds to the 75 mark on the Saitek
- I put 1000 in the box "Error around detent" . I click "Set"
- I then click on "FLX/MCT", then slide the lever down to the 50 mark on the throttle. The detent reading is approximately 15500
- 1000 for "Error around detent", then click set
- I repeat the same for CL and IDLE.
- once finished, I click the "Save Controls Configuration" and close the window

Trust this should be a good description.

Any clues. Thanks

Looks good except:

What about REV IDLE and MAX REV? those MUST be calibrated as well.

i tried calibrating REV IDLE and MAX REV. The thing is maximum detent reading is 65535, this is the one I choose for IDLE. When I click REV IDLE and then move the lever further down, the reading stays at 65535, so I skip this part.

is this where I might be going wrong

Again, all detents MUST be calibrated. You would not drive a car without a reverse gear? same goes here...

Yeah, you should put 65535 as max reverse. And start from there.
